Let everyone help to save the famous Hetch-Hetchy Valley and stop the
commercial destruction which threatens our national parks: A brief statement of the Hetch-Hetchy case to date

by John Muir

Publication Information: 22 p.

Annotation: John Muir, the preeminent conservationist of his day
and founder of the Sierra Club, led the fight against the damming of the
Hetch Hetchy Valley as a reservoir for the city of San Francisco. He wrote
many eloquent essays about Hetch Hetchy and about the Yosemite Park of which
it was then part. This pamphlet is his battle call to the public to join in
the fight to preserve the valley. He put together his own writing and
quotations from others to outline the case for preserving the valley in its
pristine condition. A two-page spread details exactly what supporters can do
to help persuade Congress to defeat the dam.
